Lowered her at the beginning of the summer Eibach springs and kyb struts definitely handles a lot better next ima paint those calipers







Lets see them with the car on the ground! I wanna compare it to my Tien drop.

1996 Toyota Celica GT (GT4 conversion) -SOLD :(2002 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro -Daily Driver
i havent taken any pictures on the ground cuz im riding on the horrible wheels and i just had an accident in the snow so it will be a while ... frown.gif
Don't worry, I shall post pics within a month's time. Same exact setup, I have to say those red springs look sexy all naked without the wheels...

...anyway, congratulations man.

you can paint the calipers while on the car. the paint will burn off the rotors... just don't get too spray happy!

There is only a $10 price difference between the entire assembly or the shock insert. Might as well take the entire assembly for that price, IMHO.

how much? can someone direct me a link.. i want to have the same thing you guys have.. my struts are going out kindasad.gif
I just got done doing the same setup on my car yesterday. Love the feel, of course the old struts were so shot and rattly that anything would be an improvement. I thought the ride was going to be harsh but so far it's been great.


On the down side I think I'm going to have to get the camber kit for at least the back. For some reason I thought that it was only going to drop the car an inch and that I wouldn't have any problems with rear camber. I'll be taking it to the shop for an alignment tomorrow and see what they say. The drop doesn't seem like too much though. With 17" rims it feels like it put the car back down where it was before.

i lowered on ksport coils and my rear camber is crazy off! haha. yeah get camber kit... on another note, did anyone ever hear of some places offering alignment warranties? sears does it and so does firestone... lol

after my drop with the same set up I didn't notice any camber difference? I only have 15's so i suppose that would come into play

I just got a call from the shop that they are done with the car. No problem setting the camber. It just needed some toe in changes front and back. I guess we'll see when I pick it up.
